To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The HS20 EXR because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony TX30 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older HS20 EXR will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
